Phonics

At Sussex Road Primary School we believe that embedding good reading skills early on is very important. Reading enables children to become increasingly independent in their learning across the curriculum.

To ensure a high quality, consistent approach to the teaching of reading and writing, throughout the school, we use Read, Write, Inc. It is a complete literacy programme for 4-7 year olds, which then progresses onto Literacy and Language. It fully meets the new, higher expectations of the new National Curriculum using engaging texts to capture the interests of our children.
